Don’t Just Take My Word for It!
Straight from the readers
I’ve spent 94 years gathering stories from the cockpit to the stage, and it turns out folks actually enjoy reading them! See what the fuss is about.
What Readers are Saying About Mel’s Stories
Real reviews & reflections
I’ve spent over 90 years gathering stories—from the cockpit of an airplane to the bright lights of international stages with my wife, Sunny. It seems a few folks have a thing or two to say about my books, and I’m tickled to share their thoughts with you.
We were also very impressed with Mr. Calvert’s “Natural Approach.” The only way the system could fail is if the user fails to do the relatively easy but very effective steps!

My friend,Bertha Kreinhop, tells a story of perseverance and faith. You will meet many other fascinating people as well as you read her story.

Dear Mr. Cavert, I wish to thank you for our help in getting my husband off cigarettes. He was smoking 2 packs a day and would not even look at any quit smoking stuff. I worked with him using your system and I will tell anyone that it works. He has been off for 90 days now and says he doesn’t miss it at all.

I am proud to encourage readers to take the story of Bertha and Earl Kreinhop and make it their own. It is a story of courage over illness and hardship and yet light-hearted along the way with wit and humor. Bertha’s Battle is a journey worth taking.

There’s nothing quite like genuine, tickle-the-funny-bone humor to help people learn about serious subjects and inspire them to change. This is Mel Calvert’s amazingly successful approach to the deadly addiction of smoking and a timeless guide to – finally – kicking the habit.
Joan Swirsky, Journalist and Author. NYC
As a reader you put yourself in her seat, wearing her hat, basically being a trooper. It’s almost like it’s you making the fight and realizing how important it is to put on the whole armor of God – always asking others for prayers. I’m sure she got those prayers. A riveting and wonderful story.
